Do you know the optimal drinking temperature of wine?

It is extremely fortunate to acquire such a collection of wines. However, before the wine reaches your palate, there can be many variables, and the handling of any detail can affect the taste and flavor of the wine you ultimately enjoy.

Grasping the appropriate serving temperature is one of the important controls.


Every wine has its optimal serving temperature; if the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the final taste and flavor.

How do you grasp the optimal serving temperature for wine? And what exactly is the optimal serving temperature for various wines?

A vintage wine, aged for many years or even decades, finally awaits its auspicious day for optimal enjoyment. However, as we hold this fine wine, about to be opened, our eagerness might cause us to overlook providing it with the optimal serving temperature. Although this optimal serving temperature cannot be seen, touched, or heard, it will more or less affect the flavor and taste of the freshly opened wine.

The optimal serving temperature varies for different types of wine.



Generally, the optimal serving temperature for red wine is 15℃-18℃,

which is higher than the optimal serving temperature for white wine, 8℃-12℃.

Even among red wines of the same type, those made from different grapes have different optimal serving temperatures. For example, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon wines are typically best served at 18℃, while Pinot Noir wines are best served at 14℃. The chart below lists the optimal serving temperatures for several common wines.
Ensuring the optimal serving temperature when drinking various wines helps us discover and appreciate the wine's finest and most wonderful taste.
